Retirement portfolio withdrawal rules
Choose a rule and enter assets, initial withdrawal rate, inflation, guardrails, costs and a five-year return path.
Retirement withdrawals balance depletion risk, inflation and spending stability. Fixed real withdrawals stabilise consumption but raise the withdrawal rate after market losses; a fixed percentage of balance reduces depletion risk but makes income fluctuate; guardrails adjust spending as withdrawal rates change. This simulation applies a user-entered annual return path and does not estimate success probabilities.
The short return path is not a retirement forecast; taxes, annuities, healthcare, mortality and asset allocation are omitted.

Understand the story. Then inspect the risk.
Start with a familiar situation, check the payoff, then test how the numbers change.
The idea · in two minutes
How do balance and total withdrawals evolve under fixed-real, percentage or guardrail rules along an entered return path?

Fixed real withdrawals stabilise consumption but raise the withdrawal rate after market losses; a fixed percentage of balance reduces depletion risk but makes income fluctuate; guardrails adjust spending as withdrawal rates change.

The mechanics · payoff and exposure
B_{t+1}=(B_t-W_t)(1+r_t-f),\quad W_{t+1}^{fixed}=W_t(1+\pi)
Withdrawals occur before each annual return; fixed-real and guardrail modes inflate the planned amount.

| Base scenario | Manual inputs | Retirement withdrawals balance depletion risk, inflation and spending stability. Fixed real withdrawals stabilise consumption but raise the withdrawal rate after market losses; a fixed percentage of balance reduces depletion risk but makes income fluctuate; guardrails adjust spending as withdrawal rates change. This simulation applies a user-entered annual return path and does not estimate success probabilities. | The short return path is not a retirement forecast; taxes, annuities, healthcare, mortality and asset allocation are omitted. |
| Conservative version | Higher cost/loss | Stress higher costs, larger losses or lower liquidity. | May lower scenario returns. |
| Validation version | Data review | Test model inputs with consistent contracts and timestamps. | Needs licensed, representative data. |
